Books on the Nightstand discussion

Please post here with what month you are going to work on. I have already done 12/09 -- it doesn't matter if we work forwards or backwards, as I will resort the spreadsheet before we publish. When you post here, I will put your name next to the month so that others know it's already spoken for. When you've finished with a month, please post back here and I'll mark it complete.

10/2009 is complete!

I'll start 07/2009 tonight.

I'll do April, May and June, 2009 - It won't take me very long at all.

Oh my gosh, you guys are the best! Thank you.

I believe I have August of 09 complete. I'll work on January, February and March of 2009 next.

Um, hello, did you guys run out of books to read or something? I can't believe how quickly you are on this. :)

Thank you!

Thank you!"

Run out of books to read. That's a good one, Ann. Know any more?

Naw, we're just good helpers. I'll get mine done tonight.

I thought we were working for books :-)
Mine will be done tonight as well.

i will work on 12-08

I will also do 11-08 I dont have much to do this weekend. And this is kinda fun

Thanks, Eric!

November 09 is done! I have time constraints Friday/Saturday, but if any months still need doing I can work on them on Sunday.

Thanks, Suzanne!

I am finished with April, May, and June. I will start on the other months that are not spoken for - starting with October, 2008 and working down the list.

Linda

October, 2008 finished on to September 2008

Linda, amazing!
May need to sweeten the goodie boxes for you guys ...

September, 2008 done - starting August, 2008. (Go to bed, Ann)

Finished August - going on to July, 2008.

July, 2008 is done. I'll see what needs to be done in the morning.

I'll start this AM with June of '08!

June '08 is done so I'm starting on May of '08! Please Ann review and correct my guesses on the arrangement of some of the authors....Garcia Marquez, Gabriel and Zafron, Ruiz Carlos. I have seen them filed both ways and I have no clue which is correct.

Just wow.
I think I'm not the one that needed to be told to go to bed ;)

Sidweena, should I mark Jan-March 09 complete or are you still working on those? Also, I think those names are right -- I'll double check and fix if necessary. Zafon I'm sure of, and pretty sure of Garcia Marquez.

Oh yes...please mark Jan-March 09 complete as well as May of 08 as I am moving on to April 08.

April 08 is complete!!

Seriously, I thought this was going to take a month...

Hey, Ann, there wasn't that much on most of the podcasts - 6 to 9. I know I'm super typist (85 wpm), but I also learned a lot about your site while I was doing it, so that I will be able to better use the site. BTW, July is finished. If you need any more help - just ask! It's always good to feel needed and able to help - especially something (one) we love.

There are a few postings in March 08 so I am headed there to finish!

I'm headed off for the weekend (early Christmas with my side of the family including my adorable 8-month old nephew)and likely won't be checking here during that time. You should all go enjoy yourselves and get off the computer!!

12/2008 is done! The Good Thief was a popular book that month.

I kept inputting The Good Thief and / or The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo.

11/2008 is finished! I got to input the 700th book WOW! this month was the Oxford Project. Thanks Ann I had a good time. Thank you everyone! I think we did a great job!

700????????????

We've talked about more than 700 books in under two years?
No wonder we need a vacation!

Here are the leaders so far
A fraction of the whole 8 times
The girl with the dragon tattoo 7 times
The Story of Edgar Sawtelle 7 times
The Guernsey Literary and Potato Peel Pie Society 7 times

All Great Books!

I am equally aghast that we've talked about 700+ books! And that you all have entered them!!

Maybe we should recommend fewer titles each episode? :)

I've only just seen the first post about this, so am too late to offer my help, but I have to say this is a fab idea! I have been trying to keep track of the books I want to read from the podcasts, but I'm sure I've missed some. The spreadsheet will be a huge help!

I completed 07/2009! The very first episode for that month featured audiobooks so, for every title mentioned in that podcast, I not only included the author for that title, but the narrators for the book as well. I did the same for the one audiobook mentioned in 10/2009. The only other item that came up was when Jack Murnighan did his video clips on The Old Testament and on The New Testament. I listed "The Bible" and the author as "Various."

Thank you for the opportunity to help!

Tanya, great idea to add the narrator. Thank you!!

Kirsty, no worries, we'll likely be calling for volunteers again later for some other project. We have lots of ideas! Thank you for wanting to help!

good grief. looks like I am the only one who didn't do my month yet. i'm impressed.

Well, podcasts for Sept 09 are complete. Will check the rest tmrw.

Trish, thanks. Quick question: did you do only the podcasts, or the blog posts from September as well? Just trying to keep track of what to mark complete.

Thanks so much for your help!

Ann, I have finished the whole month now, I believe. Both podcasts and blogposts, including the guest blogger, Josh Christie. The only thing I did not do is Sept 9, 2009 which is a list of hyperlinks to YA/Kids titles--Since these titles are listed elsewhere on your blog and these specific titles did not generate any discussion on this day, I did not include them. Proper, or not?

Trish, that's perfect! Thank you so much!

Ann, I thought you were taking the weekend off? If you were looking at this on Sunday morning, you didn't make an entire two days away. :(

I only checked periodically, I swear! It was a good excuse to get some "me time" away from family in my mom's spacious-but-too-small-for-the-entire-extended-family condo!
